I think this is a good definition: http://shitpost.urbanup.com/11938797

Honestly, I don't understand people who post "normal" stuff here. Aren't there more suitable places? Or is it to maximize reach or fake internet point gathering?

I feel like your title, text and spoiler are talking about three different things. There are many types of anxiety that can be tackled differently.

You already got good tips for most, so I'm going to concentrate on your spoiler text: When you are too high, I recommend chewing coffee beans. They act calming on those cases.

As for your existential anxiety: You might want to continue that train of thought to it's conclusion: Eventually everything ceases to exist. Nothing is permanent. Everything is in flow. All that is, all that matters, is now. This moment. And all you need to do is live it.

I don't think you can say anything to him that will convince him. The more you will try to convince him the more resistance you'll get. That's just how it is with media. You can't make people like it, if they aren't up for it. Maybe try again in a year or two

Interesting, so it's a nod to the real 007 fans!

Dude looks more like Ethan Hunt than James Bond. Why did they give him a huge scar on his face?

I had that thought still in bed, to be honest

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Lots of rock songs, even from supposedly family friendly bands like The Beatles, I can't listen to anymore, because it's too creepy.

Sounds like a good time to start your own business, creating a stable, no-bullshit version of whatever these companies produce

I love blues and blues rock, but the lyrics are often full of misogyny, unfortunately. Same with rap. Some I can't listen to anymore because of that, but some I give the benefit of the doubt, if that makes sense. They feel like they are using a misogynistic language, but aren't actually saying anything misogynistic.

Oh and then there are these really sad and self depreciating songs I used to love, when I was more emo, like Creep. I still love the sound, but I can't connect with the lyrics anymore. I'm basically only listening to them, when I'm down and even then I'm basically ignoring the content and focus on the vibes.

Yeah, the power scaling broke it for me, too. The magic system is certainly imaginative, but it feels so arbitrary! It's so stylish, but I just can't get invested in anything that happens, because it never feels like it was earned.

Solo Leveling. I think after seeing so many recommendations (and better animes) I expected too much of it. It's just a very basic Isekai with flat, tropey characters and boring art style. It has some really cool fight scenes, I'll give it that. Forced myself to watch the first season to the end in the faint hope it'll do something interesting, but nope.

I guess it's watchable if you're looking for a simple power fantasy and don't mind tropes.

Hey guys, I told one of my mates this story, they mentioned you might like to hear it here.

Before this pandemic, I was running a home brew adventure with some friends, and a couple of strangers and we were having a a blast. It was me, 5 adventurers and our Rogue's Gf (who we'll call Silent) who wanted to watch and learn but didn't feel she could play.

Now Silent had a really bad stutter, and I don't mean bad like she stuttered on every few words but you could understand her, I mean it took her 3 minutes to say 2 words. Because of this, she felt she couldn't really play which is a shame. She would normally watch and then text her boyfriends or me some questions.

But hey we gotta make sure she is involved, so I gave her a character sheet and some spare paper and Silent ended up designing a bard name Baroness Hammer lute with a +10 to Performance (You'll never guess what her instrument was). Now as our sessions continue, I found out that while Silent cannot speak clearly, when she sings, she is essentially clear as day. She could sing entire songs with maybe a slight falter if she has to say 'Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious' and she can 'sing speak' (if that's the right term)

The group are more than happy to have her join in the game so myself and her bf suggest that she plays as the Baroness, but that her character has a curse that makes it she can only sing, she cannot speak normally also we had to nerf that +10 bonus). We ended up calling it 'The Divorce Curse' after her character divorced her husband.

She's happy as a clam and two sessions later, she's literally playing a drum solo on the BBEG with a pair of dragon bones while singing the opening verse from 'Psycho Killer' (which was a little scary).

To see this quite, reserved person turn into a Bardic maniac singing 'C'mere you little goblin bastards! I haven't eaten all day...' was amazing, and it's why I love this game.

VoPuHeDo is a psychedelic rock band from Leipzig and has become one of my absolute favorites!

They're currently trying to gather funding for their debut album. The funding deadline is in 3 days and they are at 83% of the funding target. So if you want to help upcoming artists you can support them on Start Next.

 
 

In particular check out my little game Kevin's Path to Wizdom, which is 50% off ;)

Do you have any EDH / Commander related confessions? Have you ever cheated in the game, maybe by accident? Do you always keep Sol Ring in your hand on T1 so you don't get targeted? Do you hate full art cards?
